    Description

    Volunteers spend a short visit with the patient so the caregiver can step away knowing their loved one is not alone.

    Your visit might include:

    Talking and listening

    Holding a hand

    Playing a simple game

    Listening to music

    Looking at photos

    Or just sitting quietly together

    Volunteers do not provide any medical care. All medical needs are handled by the hospice team before and after the visit. Visits are kept short so the caregiver can return before any medical care is needed.

    Your presence provides comfort to the patient and peace of mind to the family.

    If you’re curious but not quite ready to jump in, that’s okay too. Many people like to stop by, have a conversation, and see what hospice volunteering is all about.

    Fair warning though… once people learn what hospice volunteers do, many say it becomes the most meaningful hour of their week.

    And a little friendly urgency: our patients are already asking when their next volunteer visitor is coming, so we would love to meet you soon.

    We look forward to connecting with you!
